Anchor Bay UK's Time Bandits announced
Just saw this at DVD Times:
Anchor Bay UK have announced the Region 2 DVD release of Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits. This specially remastered DVD will arrive on 1st October 2002 with a retail price of £19.99 and the following features...
ADDED: Just checked the Anchor Bay UK web site and it seems to confirm that the commentary will be on the disc. Here's the link:

In all, this may be a worthy alternative for those of us who never bought the Criterion disc. "Time", indeed, will tell.

R1 anytime soon?
Knowing AB's penchant for multiple releases of the same title (Evil Dead series, anyone?), is it likely that this, arguably the most influential film of my childhood, will find its way to R1?
'Cuz, if not, there's that reason I was looking for to get a Malata.
Down with region codes,

Btw, for anyone who loves genre film, a multi-region player that does correct PAL conversion is not an option, it's a must.

Missing Scene!
Oh, I have the Criterion. The commentary was educational and entertaining.
But the R2 has a MISSING SCENE?
This could be either the "Spider Women" scene referenced here, http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/bandqs.htm , or hopefully, some scene featuring Horseflesh, the deceased seventh Time Bandit, listed in the closing credits as played by Marcus Powell, who also played diminutive Rycar Ryjerd (sp?) in Star Wars' cantina sequence.
Either way, for a missing scene, I hope AB will step up for R1, or I'll go multiregion.
Back on my meds,

Here's all I found on the subject (from a review at DVD Answers):
The Missing Scene is unfortunately not a deleted scene, but a scene never filmed and therefore it is just a storyboard again, but with lines from the script inserted at appropriate places.

Anyone compare the picture/sound quality of this release with the new R1 divimax release? I have the R2 and am wondering if the R1 looks better (despite lacking the criterion commentary).
